Department s Mission: Provide students with the proper knowledge, skills and scientific principles through hands on activities, research and experimentations, and thus creating young innovators who are ready for real life challenges and problem solving. COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course introduces Kinematics, Newton s laws, the laws of thermodynamics, elements of atomic, nuclear and particle physics, energy and momentum conservation, rotational motion, and angular momentum conservation, one and two dimension motion, work and power. The laboratory work is based on research and application with a term lab theoretical and practical assessment. General Academic Goals: Use mathematical representations of Newton s Law of Gravitation and Coulomb s Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects. 1

Measure, calculate, and graph the speed of an object s position as a function of time. Describe the motion of an object by its position and velocity as functions of time and by its average speed and average acceleration during intervals of time. Study basic Forces in Nature Objects can interact with each other by direct contact (e.g., pushes or pulls, friction) or at a distance (e.g., gravity, electromagnetism, nuclear).

4 Compare fission and fusion reactors. Define the four fundamental interactions of nature. Identify the elementary particles that make up matter. Describe the standard model of the universe STANDARDS/BENCHMARKS: Energy HS-PS3-1 Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known. HS-PS3-2 Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic scale can be accounted for as a combination of energy associated with the motions of particles (objects) and energy associated with the relative position of particles (objects). HS-PS3-3 Design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.* HS-PS3-4 Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that the transfer of thermal energy when two components of different temperature are combined within a closed system results in a more uniform energy distribution among the components in the system (second law of thermodynamics). Forces and Interactions HS-PS2-1 Analyze data to support the claim that Newton s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration. HS-PS2-2 Use mathematical representations to support the claim that the total momentum of a system of objects is conserved when there is no net force on the system. HS-PS2-3 Apply scientific and engineering ideas to design, evaluate, and refine a device that minimizes the force on a macroscopic object during a collision.* HS-PS2-4 Use mathematical representations of Newton s Law of Gravitation and Coulomb s Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects. 4

Engineering Design HS-ETS1-1 Analyze a major global challenge to specify qualitative and quantitative criteria and constraints for solutions that account for societal needs and wants. HS-ETS1-2 Design a solution to a complex real-world problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable problems that can be solved through engineering. HS-ETS1-3 Evaluate a solution to a complex real-world problem based on prioritized criteria and trade-offs that account for a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics, as well as possible social, cultural, and environmental impacts. HS-ETS1-4 Use a computer simulation to model the impact of proposed solutions to a complex real-world problem with numerous criteria and constraints on interactions within and between systems relevant to the problem.

Quizzes /tests are given every other week as assigned by school. Our tests and assessments consist of multiple-choice, short answer, direct application problems, critical thinking situations, refer to figures, texts, graphs and/or open response items. They are aligned with Michigan benchmarks. A student failing any of his quizzes would have to sit for a support class and retest to achieve his 60% which is our passing mark. A progress report is sent to the parent eventually after sitting for the make up exam. 40 % is given to students that do not have a medical excuse for missing such an assessment. 2.Skill Based Assignments are done in class where a student has his resources all opened in front of him to answer a set of questions under verbal, nonverbal, quantitative, and spatial domains. 3. Research Sessions are done where students can debate as groups and check the internet for resources and answers to support their ideas. This kind of assessment is under Research /Project/ Lab Sessions /Journals. They are evaluated to info, creativity, presentation, discussion and relation to the subject. 4.Daily assessments and drop quizzes take place to check the understanding of students. 5. Laboratory work is checked for research, completeness, accuracy, understanding the experiment, group and individual reports and attendance with the lab coats. Every semester has one term practical assessment. 7. Projects are integrated across and assigned for every term. They are evaluated to accuracy, creativity, info and relation to the subject. 7
